The blog is called ten percent because of what Kurt Vonnegut wrote when remembering Susan Sontag - She was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80 percent could be moved in either direction.-

And I'm writing it because I need the therapy and I lust for world domination.

People Worth Voting For: Derek Wall

7 April, 2010 — RickB

“British politics has hit an all time low in the eyes of the public. And for good reason. Our politicians betrayed us by uncritically following America into illegal wars, causing untold pain and suffering to families here and abroad. They sat idly by as the banks recklessly gambled billions on the financial markets, creating the conditions for the current recession. Too many have become tainted and discredited by sleaze and expenses abuse.

We need politicians who put the common good before themselves and their party. Derek Wall is such a person. He has a passionate commitment to social justice, both here and abroad. He has a long record of campaigning for a cleaner, healthier and balanced environment.

I am proud to support him and I urge you to do likewise.It’s no good just complaining about our current crop of MP’s. It’s time to change them!Please give Derek Wall your full support and help elect an MP you could feel proud of.” – Salma Yaqoob, Respect Party leader and Birmingham Councillor.

I see it as better MP’s make changing the system feasible, you change the system in order to create better conditions for survival, govt is not going away and if it did corporations and backwater would run our cities, so make it as less authoritarian as possible and progressive as possible, the default setting of power is for it to reside wholly in the ruling class, and to be honest I can serfdom round the corner at this rate, if we can avoid that then at least our own answers have a chance to exist.

Good luck Derek, as endorsements go I can’t guarantee it mine means much to the voters of Windsor, but I’d certainly be very happy to see you in Westminster. I wish I had such a good choice in my constituency!
